The University of
the 3rd Age (U3A) sets out to provide stimulating activities for
those who are retired from full-time employment and no longer have
direct parental responsibilities. There are now over 40 interest
groups both large and small, including family history, walking,
languages, art and literature, yoga and classical films.
Meetings are normally
held the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of each month (except August), at
2pm in St. Barnabas Church Hall where talks are given on various
subjects.
Currently there
are over 500 members from Swanland and the surrounding villages
and towns. There are no plans to limit membership
numbers! Annual membership costs £10 per person and this includes
all the fortnightly talks. Some of the interest groups make an additional
small charge to cover expenses.
